HeyI hope that everyone had a really good Easter.Mine was really nice with my mom and gran and the kids.It's been a really long time since I had an Easter holiday with the extended family as they live overseas.This is the first time definitely for my little 4 year old and I think only the third time for my 15 year old.

Anyway I have placed my new order for true crime books to be delivered in 10 days time.These are the books I have ordered and as soon as I receive them I will read them and then post reviews for everyone.Here they are:
